The witch Patch pg 5
When a broom falls
We all sat down to eat at 6:30pm sharp. Raven and I prepared 3 whole roasted chickens with mixed veggies, mash potatoes with gravy, and sald picked from our own garden just this morning, and of course for desert, triple berry crunch cobbler a’lamode, with a nice fresh pot of hot coffee complements of Velvet and Rocky.
"So tell me, how was everyone’s day?" asked Fabian. "Weird" said one voice, then everyone else chimed in, seemingly in unison with the same sentiment. “Yeah me too said Fabian,” while harpooning a drumstick and thigh and then savagely plopped em down onto his plate.
“I decided to put my two cents in.”
Raven and I went to Wicked Wanda's Place today on the way home from Garrisons, an I caught a panic attack. Hero was acting weird too, barking and sniffing around Wanda's Place, added Raven.
Velvet spoke next. When Rocky an I were coming home from the market we too felt a strange vibe too, but we just brushed it off.”
"Suddenly—!" We heard a broom hit the floor! sounds like it’s coming from the kitchen offers Delilah.
Nerves on edge, I put my fingers to my lips indicating for everyone to stop talking, then chuckle nervously.
Fabian cut his eyes at me and Ryder gave me a weird look too.
I reply with a shrug, and point to the front door and whisper "someone's here!"
"I'll get the door" said Fabian, but Velvet and Rocky beat him to it!
“It's cousin Honoria!" squealed Velvet.
Hey cousin! Come on in said Rocky, waving Honoria inside. “Phew!” I said under my breath.
"Hey Cuz, what brings you here?" asks Michael. Well Honoria began, I need to talk to you about something important.
"Do tell?" said Michael. “I’m not sure where to start.” said Honoria with a nervous voice.
“Start from the beginning said Fabian.”
Right, sure, of course, she replied. “Well it all started last year; I had a dream, but I didn’t think anything of it because the details were unclear. Then just a few nights ago I had the same dream but this time I remember everything; It’s like something out of a “horror— movie!” said Honoria practically trembling.”Honoria, are you alright?” asked Velevt. “No not really, she answered with caution, I keep having these visions of a house totally engulfed in flames!”
"Is it your house?” asked Ryder.
"No answered Honoria, It’s yours"!

Hi H ♥️ Well that’s because I’m constantly editing the story. Generally when I post something for the first week, I’ll go in and tweak it because I notice a mistake or a typo or a sentence that doesn’t make quite the kind of sense that I’m looking for, so I’ll fix it but yeah I’m glad to see you, I’m happy you’re enjoying the story so far.
Thank you for the visit and wonderful comments

It is very easy to follow who is talking.
The personality of each character is beging to take shape as well as the underlying plot.
Excellent.
